OW 3-36 Home of Emma Currie

Right here was 98 King Street. This was Emma Currie's home.

The address actually no longer exists. The streetscape has changed dramatically since 1913.

Emma Currie lived at 98 King Street, St. Catharines - an address that no longer exists. Her home was located between Carlisle and Academy Streets, approximately where the entrance to the MTO / Bus Station is found today. Addresses along King Street were re-numbered, and no longer match present-day addresses.

The streetscape has changed quite dramatically between 1913 (left) and 2017 (right). Back in 1913, the Currie home was one of several stately residences that lined King Street. Many such buildings that graced the southeast side of the street have since been demolished or replaced. Currie's home was razed in the early 1990s to make way for the Ministry of Transportation headquarters and the St. Catharines Bus Terminal.


Directions to next destination

From here we'll take you to see the Old Dominion Government Building, renamed in Laura Secord's honour in 2012. Emma Currie would be pleased to know that Laura Secord was finally recognized in Emma's hometown.

Continue walking west along King Street past the MTO Building.
